The General Medical Council's core curriculum model for undergraduate medical training is leading to changes in the way specialist subjects are taught. A postal survey was undertaken to evaluate the current state of undergraduate clinical teaching in otolaryngology in the United Kingdom. Data were received from all 27 medical schools. Six medical schools (22 per cent) do not have a compulsory ENT attachment, although three of these offer an optional attachment. Fifty-eight per cent of all ENT attachments are combined with other specialties including dermatology, ophthalmology and neurology. The average length of time spent with the ENT department during medical school training is one and a half weeks. Forty-two per cent of students do not have a formal assessment of their clinical skills or knowledge at the end of such attachments.
英国医学总会（General Medical Council）的本科医学培训核心课程模式正在促使专科科目的教学方式发生改变。我们开展了一项邮寄问卷调查，以评估英国耳鼻喉科本科临床教学的现状。收到了来自所有27所医学院的数据。六所医学院（22%）没有耳鼻喉科必修实习安排，不过其中三所提供选修实习。所有耳鼻喉科实习中有58%与其他专科合并，包括皮肤科、眼科和神经科。医学院培训期间在耳鼻喉科的平均时长为一周半。42%的学生在这类实习结束时没有接受临床技能或知识的正式评估。
